| Sumario: | Chia oil production and consumption have increased in recent years, producing a largenumber of by products that had low utility or economic value for the industry. In this study, abiodegradable film was successfully prepared from mucilage extracted from defatted chia flour. Thephysical chemical, optical, water vapor permeability (WVP), and mechanical properties of filmsmade with two different types of chia matrixes (defatted flour and whole seeds) were determined. Ingeneral, defatted chia flour films exhibited a slightly reddish and yellowish color but still transparentin appearance, were good visible light barriers, and had better mechanical properties than filmsmade with whole seeds. They also have greater WVP values than synthetic films such as low densitypolyethylene. The results of the present study demonstrated that defatted chia flour can be used inproducing edible films with improved quality characteristics. |
